Julie and their son are démodé - Juma shows us the future! Glory! Fashion! Grass in the butt!

EDIT: what am I saying, mon Dieu? I didn't realise Julie was going for a retro look!

Such acclaimed design deserves to be celebrated for more than just a fade!

to be fair, most fashion to me looks kinda on the same level as monkeys with grass in their ears or butts.

Trying to keep up with the Orcas I guess

And when I put grass in my butt and stroll around like a pimp, noone cheers or does studies 🤨

Well back in my days we would wear an onion on the belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

And yet people deny that we’re decended from the same lineage. If humans didn’t wear clothes, I guarantee some kid would start a grass-in-the-butt trend too.

My dogs eat strings and tufts from their toys that hang out from their butts sometimes when they poop. Is this fashion?

It reminds me of that whale fashion trend with salmon on their head.

They yearn for the tails of their ancestors.

You can't just drop something like that and not post pics...

That’s not impressive. I’ve been doing that for years

Varies from moment to moment.

This explains and teaches so much about civilization.
